Having not actually read Yarvin, I didn't realize his arguments were this stupid. We're talking like, Jordan Peterson or worse. Who cares about clear Constitutionally dictated powers when we could just consider the etymology of the word Executive? 🤪👈 - ThreadSky

It's even dumber than that because he misleadingly states that "executive" is a synonym for "monarchical" and then proceeds to consider the etymology of monarchical. In actuality, "executive" signifies one who "carries out" plans and actions, e.g. the faithful execution of laws.

This is the most incisively written and mockingly fun article I've ever read about mass graves, Freudian backflips, and addled, inarticulate amateurs.

If you like that sort of vibe I cannot recommend the Behind the Bastards series on the Zizians highly enough.
